4. Cockroach in my bedding = SCREAM!!!! I went running to the only male in our condo. Apparently this is my default behaviour. Hahahaha!

5. Torrential downpours in Australia still makes awesome riding. :)

6. Finally getting the hang of driving on the wrong side of the road and navigating the billion and one "roundabouts." Think traffic circles except with bike lanes, and driving on the wrong side of the road. Oh. My. God. I've only been honked at once. That, and the fact that it always feels like you are heading in the wrong direction...

7. Australian culture is awesome -- people are up and at 'em at 5:30am -- all over the place: swimming, biking, running, walking, kayaking. So active! So awesome! :)

8. You can get a tan even with SPF 50.

9. Real coffee is way better than my monster jug of Folger's at home....

10. Note to self: Make sure to poop and pee before all runs....the ground beneath all bushes, trees, etc. off the side of the roads is either marsh or ocean.

You didn't TAKE a lot of stuff. Maybe you can send it home by post or Fedex or something. Has to be cheaper than the airline rape fees. oops, meant to say rapacious. My mistake, but their motivation is the same.

Glad you're having a good time. SPF 50 eh? I'd need to mount an umbrella on me for portable shade!

Hey rockstar!! I will be able to say - I knew her when .... So great for you to be out there running over stinky dead snakes and what not:) What an opportunity - you will come back here and kick a$$ - well not that you wouldn't have anyway :)

Turkeys?

Noosa is where my drunk sister though Chris de Burg was singing in a pub...hahaha. And their wine glasses are huge!
